Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a compact container having a mirror incorporated therein, and particularly relates to a compact container having a protective film attached to the surface of the mirror.

``Prior Art'' Compact containers generally contain cosmetics such as solid foundations and are often used for simple makeup touch-ups on the go. For this reason, it is preferred that such a compact container has a built-in mirror or the like inside it for ease of use when applying makeup.

Conventionally, a compact container is composed of a saucer-shaped container body and a lid hinged to one edge of the container body, and an inner tray filled with cosmetics is housed in the container body, and the lid is attached to the lid. A mirror is attached to the inside of the body. During the distribution process, a film-like protective plate made of plastic or the like is usually placed on top of the cosmetic in order to prevent the cosmetic from being damaged in the container.

``Problems that the invention aims to solve'' However, in the case of compact containers with such conventional structure, the mirror on the inside of the lid gets dirty with cosmetics before it reaches the consumer, and the compact container also gets damaged by the time it reaches the consumer. When stored for a long time, there were problems such as clouding of the mirror surface.

The present invention was developed in consideration of the above points, and its purpose is to prevent the mirror built into the compact container from becoming dirty and to prevent the mirror from becoming cloudy due to changes over time. It is something to do.

"Means for Solving the Problems" Therefore, in the present invention, in a compact container having a mirror incorporated therein, a protective film covering the entire surface of the mirror is attached to the surface of the mirror, and the The protective film is provided with a tab for peeling off the protective film from the mirror, the protective film is composed of a transparent substrate and a transparent adhesive layer provided on the back surface of the substrate, and the tab is configured to:
It consists of a seal disposed across the top surface of the protective film and a lid into which the mirror is incorporated, and the seal is attached to the top surface of the protective film.

Here, examples of the protective film include those made of a material that is adhesive to the surface of the mirror.

In addition, when a protective film is composed of a transparent substrate and a transparent adhesive layer, the transparent substrate is
A seal-shaped material made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, or a laminate of these materials is used. The adhesive layer that attaches (adheres) this substrate to the mirror surface is formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive whose main component is a transparent thermoplastic resin such as acrylic resin to the substrate. A material with low adhesion (low adhesion force) to mirror surfaces is selected.

On the other hand, polyvinyl chloride containing a large amount of plasticizer, polyethylene containing a large amount of antistatic agent, etc. are used as the adhesive material constituting the protective film.

"Function" As mentioned above, in the compact container of the present invention, a protective film is affixed to the entire surface of the internal mirror, and unless the protective film is peeled off using the tab, the surface of the mirror is protected. It does not allow cosmetics etc. to adhere to the surface of the mirror or cause the mirror to become foggy, and exhibits excellent stain-preventing and anti-fogging effects.

Also, when using it, if you hold the knob and peel off the protective film, the protective film will peel off from the mirror surface.
A mirror with a clean surface will be provided to the consumer.

"Embodiments" Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing an example of a compact container according to the present invention. In these figures, the reference numeral 1 is a synthetic resin container body formed in the shape of a rectangular saucer, and the reference numeral 2 is a synthetic resin container body formed in the shape of a rectangular saucer. This container body 1
The lid body is attached via a hinge 3 to the lid body so as to be openable and closable.

A rectangular accommodating portion is formed in the container body 1, and a solid cosmetic 4 is stored within this accommodating portion. A finger hook 1a is attached to the front wall of the container body 1.
is provided, and an engagement hole 5 provided with a hook 1b is formed.

Further, on the inner surface of the free end of the lid body 2, a locking piece 2 is provided with a hook 2b that engages with the hook 1b of the container body 1.
a is provided protrudingly, and a mirror 6 is provided on the inner surface of the lid body 2.
is included. A protective film 7 covering the mirror 6 is attached to the entire surface of the mirror 6.

In the illustrated example, the protective film 7 has a rectangular shape that covers almost the entire surface of the mirror 6 attached to the inner surface of the lid 2, and as shown in FIGS. A sheet A consisting of an adhesive layer 9 provided on the back surface of the substrate 8 and a release layer 10 provided on the overlapping surface of the adhesive layer 9 is
0 and attaching the other two layers (substrate 8 and adhesive layer 9) to the mirror 6.

The substrate 8 is made of a synthetic resin sheet such as polyethylene or polypropylene having near colorless transparency, and the adhesive layer 9 is made of an acrylic adhesive having near colorless transparency like the substrate 8. A material with low adhesion is applied.

Note that a circular seal 15 that constitutes a grip portion T when peeling off the protective film 7 is adhered (adhered) to the upper corner of the protective film 7. This seal 15 is arranged across the upper surface of the protective film 7 and the lid 2, and has an adhesive strength greater than that of the adhesive layer 9 on the back surface of the nearly colorless transparent synthetic resin film. Seal 1 is used as shown in Figure 2.
By peeling off the edge of 5, the entire protective film 7 can be peeled off.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as above will be explained.

First, in order to attach the protective film 7 to the surface of the mirror 6 attached to the inner surface of the lid body 2, for example, in the manufacturing stage of the compact container, a mirror material (for example, a material having length and width dimensions of 915 mm x 610 mm) is prepared. It may be manufactured by pasting the protective film 7 on the mirror) and cutting it into mirrors of a predetermined size, but in order to make the processing work better, the manufacturing method is as follows: For example, it is preferable to adopt the method shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

That is, in this example, the mirror 6 is cut into a required size in advance, and the surface of the mirror 6 is washed with pure water and completely dried. Next, a long sheet A having a large number of half-cut protective films 7 as shown in FIG. The protective film 7 of the sheet A is pressed by a pushing jig 30 provided in the middle of the transfer path, so that it is adhered to the surface of the mirror 6.

By this operation, a protective film 7 is formed on the surface of the mirror 6.
The adhesive layer 9 is pressed and bonded, and the protective film 7 is adhered to the entire surface of the mirror 6. Then, when this mirror 6 is assembled into the lid 2 of the compact container and a seal 15 is attached to the upper corner of the protective film 7,
The state shown in FIG. 1 is reached.

This process of attaching the protective film 7 is carried out by transporting the sheet A in one direction and using the pushing jig 30 to attach the protective film 7 to the mirror 6.
The process involves adhering the protective film 7 to the surface of the protective film 7, and the sticker 15 can also be easily attached by simply pasting it on the protective film 7, so it has the advantage of being mass-producible.

On the other hand, when the protective film 7 is attached to the mirror 6 as shown in FIG. It does not get dirty by the solid cosmetic 4 stored in the container body 1, and
It also prevents the mirror from becoming foggy due to changes over time that occur on the mirror surface.

Furthermore, since the protective film 7 is composed of a nearly colorless and transparent substrate 8 and an adhesive layer 9, in the above state (the state in which the protective film 7 is attached to the mirror 6), the surface of the mirror 6 is protected. It can be seen through the film 7, and inspection of the condition of the mirror 6 is not hindered.

When using a compact container, hold the seal 15 and pull it as shown in Fig. 2.
When the protective film 7 is peeled off from the mirror 6 as shown in FIG. 3c, the substrate 8 is peeled off together with the adhesive layer 9, leaving the surface of the mirror 6 clean.

In the above embodiments, the protective film 7 has a laminated structure consisting of the substrate 8 and the adhesive layer 9. It may also be formed from polyethylene, a vinyl chloride sheet containing a large amount of plasticizer, etc.). When the protective film 7 is formed in this manner, the protective film 7 itself comes into close contact with the surface of the mirror 6, so there is an advantage that the adhesive layer can be omitted.

In the above embodiment, an example of a compact container was shown in which the mirror 6 was incorporated into the back surface of the lid body 2, but in the case of a two-tiered compact container, for example, the mirror 6 was incorporated into the back surface of the partition. Needless to say, it can be applied to anything.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, the present invention provides a compact container in which a mirror is incorporated, a protective film that covers the entire surface of the mirror is attached to the surface of the mirror, and a protective film that covers the entire surface of the mirror is attached to the surface of the mirror. Since the mirror is equipped with a knob to peel off the protective film from the mirror, unless the protective film is removed by holding the knob, the surface of the mirror will be protected by the protective film, and the mirror built into the compact container will not get dirty. This has excellent effects such as being able to prevent fogging of the mirror surface due to changes over time.

In addition, since the protective film and the knob, which have the same shape as the mirror, are provided separately, the mirror is cut from the original plate with the protective film still attached to a shape that fits the compact, and then assembled into the compact container. After that, it is only necessary to attach a seal to serve as a knob, which improves the workability of manufacturing mirrors with protective films and compact containers. Furthermore, the knob portion is configured to include a seal disposed across the top surface of the protective film and the lid in which the mirror is incorporated, and the seal is attached to the top surface of the protective film. A knob portion having a large area can be provided. Therefore, the knob part can be easily pulled, and when the knob part is pulled, it is possible to prevent fingerprints and other dirt from adhering to the mirror surface, and the protective film can be easily peeled off. This improves the workability of removing the film and keeps the surface of the mirror clean.

Another advantage is that the protective film can be easily peeled off by holding the knob, so the compact container does not become difficult to use.

Furthermore, since the protective film is composed of a transparent substrate and a transparent adhesive layer provided on the back side of the substrate, the surface of the mirror can be seen through the protective film, which does not interfere with inspecting the condition of the mirror. It also has the advantage of not causing any damage.
